“At the first blow of His thundering sword, the mountains and all Nature will tremble in terror, for the disorders and crimes of men have pierced the vault of the heavens. Paris will burn and Marseilles will be engulfed. Several cities will be shaken down and swallowed up by earthquakes. People will believe that all is lost. Nothing will be seen but murder, nothing will be heard but the clash of arms and blasphemy. Our Lady of La Salette 19 Sept. 1846 (Published by Mélanie 1879)
Act of god! Landslide tumbles down Italian mountainside but STOPS yards short of 420-year-old church
A 420-year-old church had a miraculous escape when a landslide stopped just yards away.
In the clip, the landslide approaches the Santuario di Gallivaggio in Valle Spluga in Italy near the Swiss border before suddenly stopping.
The belltower was engulfed in dust after the rocks fell from the cliff face on May 29.Local news website Avvenire reported that the landslide happened after the town experienced 60millimeters of rain in just 24 hours.Around 7,500 cubic meters of rock fell in the landslide, but remarkably nobody was hurt.
Parish priest Don Andrea Caelli told Avvenire: 'As a believer I say that the provident hand of God accompanied this event which could have ended tragically.' Roads to the town had been closed for more than a month after forecasters predicted the landslide.
The roads have now reopened and there was no significant damage to the church, which was built on the site where two young girls claimed to have seen the Virgin Mary in 1492. Source
